I have some college students on my mailing list that will appreciate these! This is a really simple gift card holder. It starts as a 4 1/4″ x 11″ base, scored at 5 1/2″ – just like a regular card. It is also scored at 9″ (2″ from the right side of the card), and that 2″ is folded to the inside of the card to make a pocket.
I nipped the edge of the pocket with my 2″ circle punch, and I used Dunkin’ Donuts colors here. I like to send the kids Dunkin’ Donuts cards because I think they are likely to get an actual breakfast if they go there! Of course, they can still get a frou-frou coffee.
Since I was making a handful of these, I set up my Stamparatus with the letters from “Labeler Alphabet” to do all of the greetings.
I used all four sides of the two acrylic plates. The picture above shows the D,N,T,O, and R that were stamped in Pumpkin Pie on one side of the plate, and the B,H, and Y in place on the other side of the plate for the Early Espresso ink. When the plate is flipped, the B,H, and Y land where you see the finished greeting on the Whisper White mat.
The other letters are shown here on the second plate. Again I placed them using both sides of the plate. I found it easiest to put the letters for each color on their own side. Even though “BE HAPPY” is all Early Espresso, I couldn’t place the letters as close as I liked them in one step, so here you see only the E, A, and P in place. (I had to share the “P” between the plates – there is only one solid “P” in the stamp set.)
My favorite part of this card is the 3″ x 4″ vellum that looks like a wax paper around the donut. The coffee bean paper is from the retired Coffee Break Collection. The sequins are also retired, but I would suggest the Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots if you are looking for a current trim.
